match(text, query)
Calculates the characters to highlight in text
based on query
.
It returns an array of pairs. Every pair [a, b]
means that text.slice(a, b)
should be highlighted.
Examples
We match only at the beginning of a word:
var match = require('autosuggest-highlight/match');
// text indices: 012345678
// highlighting: vv
var matches = match('some text', 'te'); // [[5, 7]]
// text indices: 012345678
// highlighting:
var matches = match('some text', 'e'); // []
When query
is a single word, only the first match is returned:
// text indices: 012345678901234
// highlighting: v
var matches = match('some sweet text', 's'); // [[0, 1]]
You'll get the second match, if query
contains multiple words:
// text indices: 012345678901234
// highlighting: v v
var matches = match('some sweet text', 's s'); // [[0, 1], [5, 6]]
Matches are case insensitive:
// text indices: 012345678
// highlighting: v
var matches = match('Some Text', 't'); // [[5, 6]]
and diacritics are removed:
// text indices: 0123456
// highlighting: vvvv
var matches = match('Déjà vu', 'deja'); // [[0, 4]]
When query
has multiple words, the order doesn't matter:
// text indices: 012345678901234
// highlighting: v v
var matches = match('Albert Einstein', 'a e'); // [[0, 1], [7, 8]]
// text indices: 012345678901234
// highlighting: v v
var matches = match('Albert Einstein', 'e a'); // [[0, 1], [7, 8]]
parse(text, matches)
Breaks the given text
to parts based on matches
.
It returns an array of text
parts by specifying whether each part should be highlighted or not.
For example:
var parse = require('autosuggest-highlight/parse');
// text indices: 0123456789012345
// highlighting: vv v
var parts = parse('Pretty cool text', [[7, 9], [12, 13]]);
